A beta particle.<span>β
</span> Looking at the particles before and after for the decay, you'll see that there is a total of 214 neutrons and protons both before and after the radioactive decay. But you'll also see that before the decay, there were 82 protons and after the decay, there are 83 protons. So a neutron was converted to a proton which means that a negative charge had to be emitted, so it's a beta decay where a neutron emits a beta particle (an electron). The beta particle can be represented as a greek beta <span>β</span> followed by a minus sign, giving β-, or as a "e" followed by a minus sign, so e-

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The half-life of Material 1 and Material 2 are equal.

step by step explanation;

Material 1 disintegrates to half its mass three times in 21.6 s, to go from 100g

to 12.5g. That is,

100g - 50g - 25g - 12.5g

Material 2 disintegrates to half its mass three times in 21.6 s, to go from 200g to 25g. That is,

200g - 50g - 25g - 12.5g.

This means that regardless of their initial masses involved, material 1 and material 2 have equal half-life.

Their half-life is 21.6 ÷ 3 = 7.2 sec

A beam of light has a wavelength of 24.0 μm ( μm = 10 -6m). What is its frequency?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Frequency = 1.25 ×10¹³ Hz

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of light = 24.0  μm (2.4 ×10⁻⁵ m)

Frequency = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of light = wavelength × frequency

Speed of light /wavelength = frequency

Frequency = 3×10⁸ m /s /2.4 ×10⁻⁵m

Frequency = 1.25 ×10¹³ s⁻¹

s⁻¹ = Hz

Frequency = 1.25 ×10¹³ Hz

What term is used to describe the energy level of any level higher than the ground state of a particle?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

B. Excited state

Explanation:

Energy levels higher than the ground state are called the excited states. This concept is based on the premise that electrons can move round the nucleus in certain permissibe orbits or energy levels.

The ground state is the lowest energy state available to the electron. This is usually the most stable state.

The excited state is any level higher than the ground state. An electron  in an energy level has a definite amount of energy associated with it at that level.
